Does Minnow making a living from posting on FB? He sure does stir the pot a lot with weird posts.

Yeah a lot of successful wrestler/grapplers in MMA are very physical. They stay on the gas, pressure, mix in strikes during those exchanges, they're explosive, and they stay in the opponent's face from the beginning. Examples of this would include Khamzat, Khabib, Merab, and Oliveira. Even the wrestler/grapplers who don't pressure as much, like Islam, Evloev, and Aljo Sterling are still really physical in grappling exchanges. Nickal looked to be pretty relaxed, took his time, and just wasn't as physical in those exchanges just like he was in his previous couple fights. de Ridder was on the gas that whole fight whereas Bo seemed to just be reacting, which is exhausting.

he just signed with UFC a few weeks ago https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/44593073/aaron-pico-former-bellator-star-signs-ufc

Where in the SCOTUS ruling did it say "return to the USA"?? It says help facilitate his release...which I believe he has been...in El Salvador. And yes he is never coming back here...period! It is laughable how people play mental gymnastics to what is clear language to somehow make it seem like the Trump administration is ignoring the SCOTUS ruling. Believe me, I'd be the first to condemn Trump and his administration if they in fact did ignore a SCOTUS ruling as that should never happen. You and the MSN are doing everything in your power to twist the situation and provide shade for an illegal alien who has committed many crimes while here and is a gang member...for what...because you hate the president of the USA...how sad is that?!

So wouldn't it be cheaper to send em to El Salvador?

Askren did pretty well with it…

He's mostly training with the yes-men in State College. I imagine for camp, he goes down to ATT in FL and trains under the guidance of Coach Brown.

I almost asked this question earlier. Has the 1 hour weigh rule in ncaa wrestling made modern wrestlers soft when it comes to weight cutting? note: I’m not suggesting ncaa change the rule and go back…. Just curious as people think these weight cuts are super crazy but happened a lot back in the day.

I feel like this is an area where a certain type of Wrestler does better. More of a brawler and...I really don't mean this as a dig on NIckal, but...he wasn't the most physical. David Taylor Id say the same thing about or most of those guys. Now Aaron Brooks...I feel like...aside from the fact that he'd never have the reach advantage, his style would work or Starocci maybe. Zain. I feel like he'd be a pretty scrapy fighter, but...I don't know how much all this funk really helps in MMA.

I don't know why guys do that. I lost 20 pounds in less than a week one time and I was as weak as a baby on the mat for a couple weeks after. Seems like maintaining your weight around the competition weight would be best, to me.

You should ask this on FRL

Yes, from my brokerage account last week. Not all of it i asmit. Converted $10k to cash. Will reinvest when s&p dips again due to trade deal failures.

Do you know if Bo does much training with MMA guys or is he just training with his yes man crew in state college? All the clips I've seen are him training with Cassar and Carter Starocci and such, which sure they're great athletes, but they're not experienced MMA fighters... I know he's got some MMA coaches there, but if I recall, his striking coach is also an up and comer trying to get into MMA.

That's...just insane. I've cut a lot of weight(or so I thought)...and the most I've lost was...13-15 pounds in the last 3 days and maybe 10 pounds the night before. 25 pounds in 72 hours is...WILD.

Agreed. After watching the fight, Bo just got straight bullied. Wrestling in the MMA context is different than just wrestling (obvious statement, I know) because you can get punched, kicked, and kneed. Bo got whooped here, he can bounce back but it will require some humility in assessing what he needs to shore up.

I thought you were pretty bothered by this conversation as you don't care about MMA and come here to get updates on College Wrestling(during the height of College Wrestling News in MAY)...

I am certainly not a fan of Bo's personality or his act. Obviously a great wrestler. I do root for him to win in the UFC. But that fight was really really bad. He was tiny and tbh was losing a lot of wrestling positions. RDR was often controlling the ties (bodylocks) and was bullying Bo in the clinch. RDR was also able to use his ties to dictate where the action took place (up against the cage). Bo should be better from these positions.

Doesn't know how to set an alarm and runs people over in his Buick

I did my best to create a thread in the MMA forum and it failed.... sigh...

As a side note, KOT is doing camps with Missouri wrestling this summer as he recovers. Missouri comes to Idaho every summer to do a camp. They do an excellent job with their camps.

MOW next topic. Excited to see if the undefeated streak continues in September!

Vance Vombaurs little brother Drake is in this class. Would obviously love for him to be a gopher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then stop trying to police what we talk about and where we talk about it...

Ahhh...got it. Thanks for that clarification. I always need a clarification to the clarification when rule changes come out.

Sure, I guess I should've been more specific. Most fighters will lose most of that 25lbs within 72 hours of weigh-ins.
